Re: I think you're whistling past the graveyard...

Could be, but at least I have some company (at last!)

Already, the industry seems to agree that Intel has fallen behind AMD in terms of its ability to ship high-speed P3 processors. From Q3’00 until Q3’01, this situation is expected to worsen. Willamette at 1.5GHz will allow Intel to claim the highest clock speeds, but in terms of computational throughput, balanced against system cost, Intel will still have a huge 12-month long ‘dead-zone’ in its roadmap.

Intel’s ‘dead-zone’ is clearly indicated by the vacancy in the ‘Mainstream 3’ category of the roadmap from Q3’00 to Q3’01. This is where AMD will really be able to threaten Intel. Into this cost/performance segment, AMD will ship its 1GHz – 1.2GHz single processor Tbird-Athlon systems with low cost PC266 DDR SDRAM. AMD will extend its reach into the performance segment with a dual processor version of the same DDR platform.
